White Asparagus 'Ruhm von Braunschweig' (Asparagus officinalis)

Asparagus cultivation takes some patience, since the first harvest is possible after three years. However, a well-maintained asparagus patch will yield nice harvests for up to 15 years.
Sow from mid-March to late April right into the field. Sowing depth 1-2 cm. Only slightly cover the seeds with earth. For germination, asparagus needs 2-3 weeks at temperatures between + 10-20 °C. The plants should be pricked out to a distance of 10 cm with a row spacing of 30 cm.
In the second year, the plants can be planted at their final location about 25 cm deep at a distance of 30 cm. White asparagus loves light and warm soil - preferably sandy soil with little clay content.
